How does “Morning” Sickness affect you?

[ModernMillie]

As I am sitting here, waiting for my latest wave of nausea to pass, I thought it might be interesting to hear from other women experiencing morning sickness. How does it affect you?

Fill out the poll and share your comments.

(“Sick” in the polls means loosing your lunch. I just don’t want to type out the word right now in my attempt to reduce my need for same lol )

I chose: Nauseated periodically throughout the day, but haven’t been “sick”

My nausea is usually controlled if i eat something quick (mainly something high sugar) x

Interesting poll! x

I feel the only way i haven't been sick possibly is because of my vomiting fear. It takes a LOT to make me vomit.

I also have managed it with nibbling on food, but there have been occasions where i have felt so damn sick and nothing i eat helps.

I have a wicked fear of vomiting too. I was at a wedding last night and the nausea hit me a few times, I was so afraid of getting sick. It's okay if I'm at home, but I am petrified of it happening in public! Hopefully it doesn't get any worse than where it's at. I'm happy with just being nauseas lol.

Oh and I chose:

Nauseas periodically throughout the day but haven't been "sick"

I chose "Nauseated AND “Sick” at random times of day" without medicine its 3-4 times a day and can't keep anything down.

During my first pregnancy I had pretty "typical" morning sickness - I got up early and was seriously nauseous, sometimes to the point of throwing up.

With this pregnancy the morning sickness has been much more variable. Last week I had a couple days of the worst nausea and vomiting ever from the morning to the afternoon. Then I was fine for a while, and now since Thursday I've been getting mild nausea but no vomiting and only in the evenings. So far "morning sickness" has always been accompanied by gastrointestinal unhappiness too

Well I picked Nauseated all (or most) of the time, but haven’t been “sick”
I have however had "mini sicks" *nice* it takes SO much for me to properly be sick though, I go for years on end without actually throwing up.

I am actually really struggling with MS at the moment, the smell of food is making me cry!! but I know if I don't eat it will get worse. I seem to have to constantly munch or it gets worse and worse drinking more doesn't help either. I don't know how I am going to go to work tomorrow, thinking I will have to call in sick - but I'm too busy right now to do that x

I picked Nauseated AND “Sick” most of the time. Without meds I was being sick at least 10 times a day throughout the day and night, on meds I am usually only sick first thing in the morning and sometimes in the evening. I haven't been sick for 2 days so I am optimistic.....for the short term at least! Lol

I picked nauseated AND sick at random times of the day. To go further mine is actually worse at night more often than not.

Today is a good day though.

 

[bumpin2012]

I chose the last option, but i really dont feel ill until noontime, and then progressively worse through the evening.

 

[LittleBoSheep]

I am nauseated ALL DAY LONG, and occasionally throw up!

 

[foolserrand]

This is my second pregnancy and I have yet to have morning sickness. The first time, I was nauseated all of about two days. This time, I haven't even been nauseated. During my first pregnancy I went through a period of about a month where I didn't eat hardly anything. My family had to practically force feed me. This time I have had a day here or there where I have no appetite, but nothing like last time. Yet anyway.

LOL is there a vote for 'mild evening sickness with diarrhea'? My body is acting weird. I am getting no nausea in the morning only in the evenings and then if I eat a big meal, I need the loo sharpish. My job involves driving around a lot and to be honest, I think I would prefer nausea with vomiting, at least that way I could pull over and open the car door! The other option needs a toilet aaggh! roll on 2nd Trimester please.

 

[ModernMillie]

It is nice to hear from others who are experiencing the same struggle, though in a variety of forms and intensities. Thanks for sharing, ladies! Looking forward to all of us feeling better.

My first month was great, didn't have any sickness just a big appetite! The second month I had really really bad nausea but no vomiting, now I'm into my third month I'm vomiting 2, 3, 4 times a day!

before I was pregnant I had the worst sense of smell, couldn't smell a thing! but now it is super sensitive and it's smells that set me off more specifically meat & chicken.

 

[Rhiaberry]

I havent really experianced m/s as such, but have felt sick at night x

Thats what I choose, I've only been sick once and it wasn't even that much. I didn't even know I was pregnant at the time. Since then though I've been nauseous a lot throughout the day with no actual vomiting.

Lol I actually get this too, like you said only after a big meal. It's horrible, especially when you're not home.

This is my 3rd. So far this pregnancy no morning sickness at all yet. With DS had it occasionally. With DD I had it all day everyday.
